Cake Notebook

This is Tamara’s wedding cake that we made last year, she asked me to make a smaller version for her first wedding anniversary.

This cake was White Velvet with Raspberry buttercream.

Happy Anniversary Tamara!

Ruth wanted doves on the top of her cake as her parents had also had doves on their wedding cake.  Ruth’s favourite colour scheme is orange with fuscia pink (see her shower cake, pink and orange gerberas).  This cake was orange velvet with a raspberry buttercream filling.

 The fondant swags were brushed with gold satin powder and embossed with a lace effect.  The border around each tier was pearlized with a high gloss finish.  The flowers were paper flowers in a brighter shade than they appear in the picture.

I apologise for the terrible background, but I didn’t like to move this cake around before it was fully dried and I wanted to get a photograph taken, I hope to get an official picture from the bride and groom.

Julia and Rachel are sisters.  Rachel’s birthday was at the same time as Julia’s christening and since the family were getting together for a celebration their mother asked if the two girls could have one cake.

I designed a cake that would place Julia’s cake in front, since it was her special day, but give equal attention to Rachel who was sharing her moment with her.  Two hearts, separate, but attached.

The front cake was pink velvet with a vanilla buttercream filling, the second cake was almond and cranberry also with a vanilla buttercream filling.

The hearts were draped in pink fondant and white lace pieces (I love those things, a fiddle to make, but so pretty) were attached all around the bottom of the entwined hearts.  Sugar roses decorated the top and cake board and small pearlized dots were piped on the board and on the sides of the cake.  The writing on the top of the cake was also pearlized.

This white cake was decorated with piped lace pieces, Swiss dots, cherub cameos, scrollwork, lace edge, bead border and finished with a touch of pearl and a hint of diamond sparkle.  In the light this cake shone with a million colours although it appeared to be pure white.

This confirmation cake was white velvet and raspberry at the bottom.  The top domed tier was our new Almond and Cranberry cake, a very fragrant cake with while cranberries floating in a light cloud of amaratto infused sponge cake.

Monochrome means various shades of one colour.  This ivory cake had several tones from a yellowish gold ivory, through soft sepia ivory to off white.  There were a variation of textures, a flat matte finish, a silky pearlized finish and an embossed lace finish. 

Karen chose lilies, tulips and roses for her bouquet which was reflected in this cake.  Deep swags of fondant satin were draped and touched with 24kt gold leafing.  All the flowers were made of sugar and brushed with various ivory tones, the leaves were brushed with gold and ivory that shimmered in the light.

Finally the day came to do the Piano Cake for Lindsay and Paul.  A cousin in Australia (also a cake decorator) had made Lindsay a music stand with a little book on it with P and L on each page.

Lindsay’s wedding colours were ivory and burgundy so a burgundy ribbon was put on the cake and a silver treble clef which matched the rim of the barrel on which the cake was placed at the winery.

After the wedding, Lindsay wrote:

Hi Lynne,

Thank you so much for the gorgeous cake. We was truly beautiful and delicious. We were both very excited when we saw it! I kept the top tier in our freezer and we’ll cut it our 1 year anniversary! The rest was demolished so I know it was delicious!! 

Thank you again for all your hard work, patience and willingness to experiment with us.

We’ll send you some picture when we get them.

I received a request from a client in England looking for a birthday cake for her daughter Jessica studying at McMaster University who was going to be 21!

Jessica’s mother chose a bright more modern looking cake that she was sure Jessica was going to like, a simple vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream filling.

I delivered the cake to Jessica on the morning of her birthday, she was so surprised to get a call saying there was someone waiting for her at reception.  I handed her the cake and with my English accent said “Your Mum said to wish you a happy birthday”, I thought her eyes would pop out of her head! 

Here’s what her mother wrote after:

“Hello Lynne

Jess has just phoned me to say she’d had a surprise delivery! I’d spoken to her already this morning to wish her happy birthday, but obviously she wasn’t too excited as she’d only got a day of revision ahead for her exam tonight! She was delighted with her cake & said it looks absolutely gorgeous & she also said you had waited for her to collect it - thank you very much for that.

Her friends are cooking a special meal after the exam tonight, so she’ll be able to take along her cake to share - if there’s any left!! I’m sure it will be as delicious as it looks!

Thank you so much for the cake - and going ‘the extra mile’ for us, so we were able to give her a surprise, I really appreciate it, as did Jessica. She has taken some photos, so I look forward to seeing them soon. I’m sure that Jess will be recommending your business to other students at McMaster!”

When choosing your wedding cake style, it is important to provide your designer with a palette of ideas and colours to work with.  Make a collage with accents from your wedding including your dress, your invitations, your shoes, your favours, your chair covers and table linens, the style of your banquet room, centrepieces, headdress, bouquet, bridesmaids dresses……anything that will help match your cake to your event but also to give your designer an idea of the style that you like, modern, funky, traditional, elegant, pop art, striped, scrolled, high, wide…..try makeing a collage like the one above, not only will it be helpful, but it will also make a great keepsake for after your wedding.

I always try to photograph all of my cakes, some go out before I’ve had a chance to take a picture.  This particular cake was ready to go but needed to be stored in the fridge.  I finished icing it late at night and had turned all the lights out in my kitchen when I realised I’d not taken a picture and that it was going out first thing in the morning and I was sure to forget.  So, I simply opened my fridge door and took a picture!  So, here is a one off picture of the inside of my fridge! 

Shelley is a photographer and both her and her sister Valerie have photographed many of my cakes, she loves the little “cute” cakes the slightly retro looking ones, so when her sister Valerie asked me to make this cake for just half a dozen people, I chose this little basket cake with flowers and butterflies. 

This client called asking for help, after having called five or six other cake designers looking for an original design for a Christening cake for her twin babies.  Sophia and Aiden, a boy and a girl, needed a cake that would reflect both of them, not too girlish for Aiden, not too boyish for Sophia, but all  in one cake!  A challenge indeed.

I decided to make two shoes from sugar, to make one pink and one blue.  For Sophia I put blossoms and for Aiden I put bubbles (little balls of fondant that were painted with irridescent pearl effect), then all around the bottom of the cake I put bubbles and blossoms.  I piped royal icing lace pieces which I then laid all around the top of the cake to make the cake look more “fragile” and babylike.

This cake was made for a confirmation.  The baby chose the little angel cake topper, he seemed to be quite taken with it, so it was decided to use it for his cake (good thing he didn’t choose a bride and groom!).  The cake was finished in a brushed pearlized finish that looks like raw silk and has a beautiful sheen to it.  Small white flowers were added.

This little birthday cake was made for springtime and covered with sugar flowers of all kinds in pastel shades.  A small sugar butterfly was also added.  The cake was Noisette with praline buttercream filling.

This birthday cake was based on a previous cake that I made, the pink and black makes a dramatic statement and gives a very modern look to this cute cake.  The addition of sparkles gave a very festive look and the blossoms a spring touch

It’s always quite a challenge making a cake for a man.  Most women like flowers and frills, but when it comes to making masculine cakes my mind often goes blank, most especially when my son announces he’s going to a farewell party for a friend and can I rustle up a cake in an hour!

Ben, a guy I didn’t know, received this cake covered in white fondant and iced with black fudge icing and decorated with red flowers, the best I could do in short notice but was apparently very much appreciated.

Very occasionally a bride and groom have difficulty in finding a cake design that suits them.  Lindsay and Paul had this dilema.  They knew that they wanted something unusual, something that would be very personal to them and would wow their guests.  We met on a couple of occasions and I madly sketched designs for them, although they liked some of the designs, there was never that “sparkle” that I look for to know that I’ve hit on the right design, not even close.

Lindsay and Paul were also very sure that they wanted the inside of the cake to wow their guests too, they wanted a cake that hadn’t been tasted before that would be unusual enough to make people take notice of the cake, yet not too far fetched that they’d wonder what they were eating.  They particularly enjoyed the flavour of cardamom that they’d had tasted in someone else’s wedding cake and they asked me to come up with a recipe that had a subtle cardamom flavour.

I tried some different cake styles before finding one that had a suitable texture for a spicy cake, a larger crumbed cake that would also be able to sustain the weight of tiny pieces of orange that we would suspend in it.  Then I had to find a buttercream flavour that would blend with the cardomom and orange and make a harmonious marriage of flavour.  Vanilla was an obvious choice, but seemed rather boring for this particular combination, so I added orange juice and peel to vanilla buttercream to produce a filling that has the taste of an orange popsicle.  This flavour combination has now become the most popular in the Let Them Eat Cakes’ menu.

We met again for a cake tasting and sketching session, but we still couldn’t really come up with a design.  This has never happened during a consultation before, we always manage to come up with at least something!  I don’t know who it was mentioned that they liked music and it turns out that they both play the piano.  So the piano cake design was born.

The piano keyes were cut and dried before being placed on the cake, this way they would be nice and straight and would give a very sharp finish to the bottom tiers.  Debate raged as to whether the black keyes should be placed at the top of the tier (as if you were looking at a real piano), or on the bottom.  I felt that when the keys were placed at the top this created a large lip and also the keyes were not supported and could slide down and create an uneaven finish.  Lindsey reluctantly agreed, despite her piano background, that the keys could be moved!

The treble clef was made with a technique called colour flow, once it had dried I then painted it with 24kt gold leaf.  I used a splash of colour on the top, with silk flowers.  The small heart truffles at the bottom were not part of the design, but just a colour splash for ideas.

The colours chosen for this confirmation event were black and gold with touches of ivory.  The cake was covered in pale ivory fondant and sugar poppies in ivory colour had black centres and stamens and were touched with gold on the insides.  Black polka dots were placed all around the cake and covered with gold edible glitter.  A 24kt gold cross was put on the front of the cake to emphasise the religious aspect of the event at the client’s request.

The most popular choice for a small celebration cake is buttercream with little blossoms.  This cake was finished on the outside with a basket weave pattern evoking easter baskets and the pale lemon buttercream was offset by blossoms in pastel shades for a pleasing spring palette of colours.  A small sugar butterfly was added and the whole cake was dusted with diamond sparkles, which unfortunately do not photograph.  They are invisible to the eye when you look at the cake you see nothing, but they catch the light and twinkle like diamonds.  The sparkle is edible of course.

Unfortunately the client dropped this cake when she came to pick it up so we manage to put it all back together again and the final cake had many more blossoms and butterflies to hide the dent.

This pink and orange cake was designed for a bridal shower where the accent flowers were pink and orange gerbera daisies and the wedding cake was to be pink and orange roses (see May 10th, 2008 entry).  The cake inside was pink velvet with an orange popsicle buttercream.  The gerbera daisies were stamped on to the white fondant and dusted with edible colours to produce a soft colour on the tips of each flower.  The centres were made with alternate pink and orange icing and some small 3d sugar gerberas finished off the cake.

“60 is the new 40″ as the saying goes!  This chocolate fudge cake with a chocolate truffle filling was covered with chocolate fondant icing and topped with a white chocolate bow and ribbons.  In this picture you can see the styrofoam peanuts that were used to prop up the bow for drying and helped secure it for transportation, these were obviously not part of the cake design!

This 60th birthday cake was an Old Fashioned Lemon cake, covered in pale ivory, white chocolate fondant and finished with edible glitter to give a hint of twinkle.  Sugar lace was then placed all around the cake with an embossed lacy bow and tons of edible sugar flowers and leaves in spring colours, yellow, blue, pink, white and sage green.

Testing has begun, by popular demand on a new Oreo flavoured buttercream…….watch our cake menu for updates!

I’d be interested to know from any one reading this post what they would like Oreo cookie buttercream to be matched with, we are up for an exciting and new flavour challenge!

We are currently offering a sampling of our Oreo Buttercream at each consultation, matched with our pink velvet cake.

I found this site www.polyvore.com where they have fabulous graphics of very “girlie” stuff.  I’m not sure what all the copyright details are and if you are allowed to copy them or if the makers of these collages are really allowed to use the pictures (who knows?) but I thought that these pictures were a really cool idea for anyone who wants to make a really unusual shower or birthday invitation.  There are lots to choose from, from the wild to the cute.  Enjoy!

We are delighted that our new website is now live.  We have the following new features:

• New logo
• New format
• Wonderful galleries
• On line shopping for cakes, cake toppers and stands
• New cake selection menu

Our thanks to Valerie Savoy www.webdawgdesigns.com for her patience and professionalism.

This cake was based on a dummy cake that I had in my showroom.  Melissa and Rob decided to take the traditional cake and turn it into something more modern with the use of lime green and pink, their chosen wedding colours.  This 9″ 7″ 5″ three tiered cake was made with extra high layers giving it a narrow, very tall, modern look.

All tiers were chocolate fudge cake with a raspberry filling.

This tiny Valentine’s Cake was made with white vanilla cake and strawberry vanilla buttercream filling.  Draped with fondant then iced with the pales shrimp pink royal icing, with small dots, frilled top edge and tiny royal icing roses then piped with tiny sage green leaves.  Leaves were piped all around the bottom of the heart also.  A gold ribbon and a lace border finish the cake board.  The writing on the top was painted with 24kt gold dust which is entirely edible.

Kelly chose this Simpson’s wedding cake topper and asked for us to bring in the Valentine’s theme that she had chosen for her wedding.  We used cinnamon hearts and red, heart shaped, foil covered chocolate truffles to decorate this cake.  The cake was of course red velvet cake with raspberry buttercream filling.

We decorated the Simpson’s wedding cake topper with cinnamon hearts and placed a heart each in their hands to tie in the topper with the rest of the cake.

After the wedding Kelly wrote:

 ”You made our wedding cake.
It was AMAZING! I will send a pic asap. Everyone loved it. We were so busy we only got to try the bite we fed each other but we’re looking forward to having a delicious peice on our anniversary. The cake was everything I imagined it would be and more. I really can’t thank you enough!”

This damask style cake was made in a two tier hexagonal shape.  Chocolate decorations were applied and a huge diamond solitaire ring was placed on the top of the cake and decorated with chocolate blossoms.

This cake was chocolate fudge cake with chocolate truffle filling.

The “diamond solitaire” came from France.

A pretty little birthday cake for a pretty girl’s second birthday.  We made this little girl’s Christening cake, then first birthday cake and now her second birthday.  Maybe one day we’ll make her wedding cake too!

The flowers were made of royal icing, the teddy bear was a keepsake made of textured resin.

This white fondant covered dummy cake is available for hire.

A huge glass diamond sits on a hidden mirror on the top of this cake.  The whole cake is covered with large crystals of sugar which sparkle in the light.  Italian crystals were then placed “polka dot” fashion all over the cake.  Under the lights this cake sparkles like a huge pile of diamonds.

Ideal for any wedding with lots of glitz and glamour, perfect for an icy winter wedding theme.

Connie ordered a Golden Wedding anniversary cake for her parent’s last year, so when her birthday was coming up her husband came to us for her special birthday cake.

We applied lace applique to the two tiered cake which was then painted with a bright metallic yellow to match the colour of her favourite car (the only design feature that her husband could think of to give us an idea of what type of cake to make).  A bouquet of sugar poppies were then secured to the top of the cake.

This fondant and royal icing covered dummy cake is available for hire.

Recently seen in the Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine, this pretty wedding cake design features a huge daisy pattern on the top with circles of the softest ivory and shrimp pink petals. 

This fondant covered dummy cake is available for hire.

First turquoise fondant was applied, then white fondant shapes were cut and placed all over the cake to create an applique effect.  Small dots were placed at wide intervals at the base of each of the cakes (technique not suitable for real cakes).

This cake was covered in a chocolate ganache icing in a very rustic fashion.  Beautiful for an outdoor, informal type wedding and covered in bright yellow silk daisies.  This icing could also be finished in a smoother finish for a more formal look.

Silk flowers are perfect for cakes that need to be decorated with daisies, gerberas or other flowers that have many petals since, made with sugar, these could be very fragile. 

We do not use fresh flowers to decorate any of our cakes for food safety reasons.

The Bay Mapleview Mall have invited us to participate in their Bridal Show on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th February, 2008.

This fondant covered heart shaped cake was airbrushed with edible pearl, quilted and dotted with edible dragees that look like pearls.  A bouquet of sugar flowers was made and tied with satin ribbon.  Two gold metal wedding rings were placed on the top of the cake.

Hi Lynne,

also the best cake I have ever tasted!  There were so many complements on

it!  I will definitely be ordering from you again!!

Lori and Darin chose to have their wedding cake entirely red velvet and raspberry. The ribbon on this cake was burgundy (although the picture looks brown). Calla lilies and satinized ribbon were placed on top for this simply stunning little cake.

 ”Lynne,

Thank you so much for the beautiful wedding cake.  It was exactly what we wanted.  It was simply amazing, thank you so much, 

Lori and Darin”

Thank you for helping make my sons first birthday so memorable and special.

Hello Lynne,

Thank you so much for the amazing cake.  Jeff and I loved it - and the smaller cake was so complementary.  The cake topper looked fanastic - not to mention the cake itself - it was divine!!  Everyone loved it. 

Thanks for making our day just that extra special.  We will keep you in mind when we need a cake again. 

Cheers,

Shannah and Jeff

Karin asked for a picture of her cake the evening before the wedding.  After seeing the pictures I sent by e-mail she wrote:
I love it!!!

Thank-you so much.

We are excited about tomorrow and we are looking forward to eating the cake!  Also, the mini one is fantastic, my Mom will love it.

The stephanotis looks exactly like the ones I have for my hair and the granite rock is stunning. 

Karin

Hi Lynne,

I can’t thank you enough for the beautiful cake you made.  I can’t stop looking at pictures of it.  I was in tears the first time I got to see it.  All the staff at the Old Mill and my family and friends could not stop raving about the cake.  Not only how beautiful it was, but how good it tasted.  I was literally eating cake every night last week. 

Again. THANK YOU!!!!   You did an amazing job and I will never forget you or the cake you made.  I had a wonderful experience working with you and you were so unbelievable patient with me and my in-decisiveness, but in the end, I got my dream cake. 

Andrea

Janine and Mike

Hey Lynne,

Thank you so much for making our wedding cake… it was absolutely

beautiful!!!  Many people commented on how gorgeous it was and how it

was so reflective of “us”.

The only problem… when the hall cut it up and put it out (all of it

because we didn’t think we’d take any home), it was so good that

Stacey and I didn’t get any pieces!!!………………………….

We made a small “cake for two” for Paul and Stacey so that they could at least share a little taste of their original wedding cake for their “two week anniversary” with our compliments  :)

Hi Lynne,

Things have finally settled down so I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the wonderful job you did on our wedding cake. It looked amazing, tasted delicious and smelled divine! I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Your certainly have a way of taking the vision and making it reality.

Thank you again!

Phil and Dawn-Marie

Dear Lynne,

Thank you for creating such a beautiful cake for our wedding!  It is just how we pictured it would look like.  Our guests have commented on how beautiful it looked, the cake tasted wonderful as well - a perfect sweet taste to end our night.

Again, thank you for adding sweetness and joy to our special day!

Sincerely,

Pam and Benj

Thank you so much for making such a beautiful wedding cake for us!  It was so beautiful and exactly what I wanted.  It must have tasted good too, because we had none left!

Thank you,

Shelley and Travis

Hey Lynne, 

I just wanted to send you off a little note to say how very thankful I am to have had such a lovely wedding cake. Vince and I had enjoyed every bite and can’t wait till the 1^st anniversary to enjoy the small amount we had been lucky enough to stash away. All the guest said how good it was and that it was such a great tasting treat and that the other cakes they’ve eating in the past can not compare with how good this one was.  

So thank you so very much for making such a great cake and I’ll be sure to send you a pic once I get them back.

Thanks again and I can’t wait till my next cake! 

Alesha

Hi Lynne:  
 

I am finally getting around to sending you this note. Our wedding day was perfect everything was just lovely and we had a very beautiful day.  The cake you made for us was also beautiful; you did a fantastic job on it.  I just wanted to let you know that you are truly an artist and your talent really showed on our cake.  Thank you very much for making us such a beautiful cake!  I have attached some pictures so you can see what a great job you did.

Thank you,
Patricia

Lynne,

It was perfect. Everybody commented on the originality. It was exactly what I envisioned, and absolutly delicious too. Thank you soooo much. You were a pleasure to work with and your service is unparalleled.

The kindest of regards,

Michelle & Mike

Hi Lynne,
 
Thank you so much for everything!  The cake was beautiful!  We got a couple of really nice pictures of the cake.  I will forward you one shortly!
 
Thanks again,
Kristina

Everyone at the wedding commented on the beauty and simplicity of our cake. It was the perfect compliment to our black & white themed event. Gary & I didn’t get to taste the cake at the wedding, but everyone else RAVED about it - especially the fondant, which they said melted like cotton candy in their mouths. I finally tasted it when we got home from the honeymoon, and it was so delicious that the top section (which we were saving for our 1st anniversary) didn’t last 2 days! Thanks for making the perfect cake to compliment our perfect 07-07-07 wedding!

Lisa.

Hi Lynne,

Just wanted to send you a quick message that the cake was perfect!! I saw it for the first time when I sat down to eat at the head table, and I was so excited about it, let me tell you! I kept looking at it all evening, the peony was so life like! People couldn’t believe it wasn’t a real flower.  

The cake smelled amazing, was just as tasty. It was a hit with our guests. I had two pieces myself and some guests were taking 2-3 pieces at a time to share with their tables.  

We were able to take the top layer home, and we have it in the freezer for our first anniversary.  

Thanks so much!

Rebecca & Gary

Hi Lynn,

We would like to extend our appreciation for the fantastic cake that you supplied for our Wedding on May 12th.  It was

everything that we had envisioned it would be.  You don’t know how much it means to us to have dealt with someone like

yourself.  Over the course of the planning our wedding we dealt with numerous vendors and we have to say that you were

the most professional, accommodating and reliable vendor.  It was a pleasure to work with you and I will definitively

recommend you to my friends and family.

Once again, thank you very much.

Sincerely,

James and Lynne

Comments: you made my sisters cake Tamaras dots and bows and it was wonderful!

Hello Lynne,

I just wanted to say Thank you for creating the cake of my dreams for our wedding this past Saturday.  It looked better than I imagined!  It also

tasted so rich and delicious!  Thanks again for helping with our special day.

Ancaster Old Mill - May 26th, 2007

Dear Lynne,

We’ve finally settled back in so I just wanted to write and say thanks for having made our wedding cake!!  We were very pleased with how it turned out - it tasted yummy & delicious (it was still moist & yummy after the 2 days as you had promised!).  I passed along your business card to the mansion staff who inquired after who the cake maker/designer was - they were also impressed by it!  Thank you for your input and patience in answering my questions all along the process of designing my cake.  You have an extremely comprehensive & informative website - I still enjoy looking through your cake designs which are so lovely!

L & K

Hi Lynne!!   Just wanted to let you know that the cake was FABULOUS!!!  Thank you so much!  I have already recommended you to a couple of friends and I hope that they are even half as happy as I am!  The cake was a HUGE hit with my guests- and was the talk of the night!  I will e-mail you some photos as soon as I have them!  Thank you again!  Cori.

The cake was absolutely perfect! Funny, I had a sash made for my dress in black for the reception and it turned out I matched the cake perfectly! The birthday cake was a big hit and so much nicer than I thought it would be…you really took the time to make something beautiful and many people commented on how simple, but classic and pretty the cake was!

Here are a couple of quick pics of us, but I promise to send you some great digital ones within the next week, once we get them from the photographer.

Thanks again,

Kate

Brad and I have frozen our top tier to celebrate our 1 year anniversary next year. Here is a picture that our photographer sent to us of the cake….Jennifer

“Dear Lynne,

Now that the day is over and the house is empty and quiet, I wanted to take a minute to thank you for the beautiful cake you designed for us. Everyone could not get over how real the little flowers looked, nor how smooth the icing was.
